Associated Press DISPATCHES to the HERALD.
CINCINNATI, April lS.-About 900
stove.moulders were ordered out to-day,
because the patterns of Bridge, Beach &
Co., of st. Louis, were ordered. The
work on these patterns is Insignificant,
one foundry being asked to make four
stove doors in day, but the principle is
the same. The matter was referred to
the President of the National Union of
Stove Moulders and he ordered the men
out, SO there is the anomaly of men
striking when they have no complaint,
and when the employers have none.
LOUISVILLE, April $500 moulders
quit work in this city this morning when
the patterns from st. Louis were given
out.
PIrrsBURG, April lS.--The stove
mould.rs' strike, which started in St.
Louis, has reached this district, and all
the moulders in Plttsburg and the sur
rounding towns are idle The boycotted
patterns of the st. Louis firm were re-
ceived in this city last Saturday. They
were distributed among different firms
and the moulders were instructed to
commence work ON them to-day. This
morning the moulders refused to work
on the Objectionable patterns, and, as a
result, all the stove foundries in the two
cities are shut down. The strike now
extends throughout the third district,
the eastern boundary being Pittsburg,
and includes Cleveland, Cincinnati, De-
troit. Baver Falls, Rochester, Penna.,
and Newcastle. In this city work has
been suspended in fifteen foupdries. and
over 700 men are idle. A long and bit.
ter struggle ls predicted.

CHICAGO, April lS.-Another step for.

William F. Storey, was taken to-day.
Judge Knickerson In the Probate Court
admitted the will of 1879 to record. BY
the terms of this will, the widow, Mrs.
Eureka c. Storey is granted the
bulk of the property, including
the Times newspaper, but is debarred
from again marrying. An appeal was
allowed to the Circuit Court on behalf
of Anson L. Storey, brother Of the dead
editor. The general impression is that
the will probated to-day is to be taken
from court to court, as was the will of
1881, and that fully year must elapse

THE ALLEGED PARNELL LET
TER.
Great Excitement Prevailing In
London.

1
LONDON, April l8.--The alleged let
ter of Parnell, supposed to have been
lost, addressed to Egan, relative to the
PcGnix Park murders, which the Times
published this morning, has caused
immense excitement among all parties.
In an interview to-day with Clancey,
Parnellte member for Dublin county, he
branded the letter as an Infamous con.
coction, and declared that it bears the
Initial evidence of forgery. He said
| also hat suspicion was already directed
against certain person as the forger.
An Iiish member of Parliament departed
for Dublin this morning to compare the
handwriting in the letter attributed to
Parnell with that of the person sus.
pectei.
The Globe, commenting on the letter
says: "Until the horrible accusation tha,
Parnell wrote the letter is proved, we
shall disown it," The Pail Mall Gazette
says: "Until the author of the letter
shall be absolutely proved, there shall be
need to dismiss it's contents. The St.
James Gazette says: 1.-THE letter is 80
grave document that it is o. well 10 re,
gard it as genuine until Parnell shall be
heard from concerning it,"
The Parnellites all declare the letter
an infamous and deliberate invention to
publicly SANDER the leader of the Home
Rule party. They contend that Parnell
would be the last man in the world to
write letter containing such damaging
admissions, and therefore that all reason
in the case proves the letter forgery on
its face. They point for proof to the
contents of the documents, specially to
furnish warning to the person to whom
the letter purported to be written, no,
to disclose his address, while the fact
that the signature is wanting, and only
a part of the letter is in legible writing,
is by itself the Home Rulers argument
as proof that the whole thing is fraud.
According to them, while it would be
difficult to obtain enough specimens of
Parnell's writing to enable the forger to
initiate to the extent necessary the whole
letter, it is not difficult to obtain the
signature of Parnell. The Associated
Press is authorized to state that Parnell
will deny that he wrote the letter. Par.
uCIl Will IIidhc Tue ucUldl Ill Luo hOuHc
of Commons, and the editors of the
Times will be summoned to the bar of
the House of Commons to explain the
authorship of the letter.
EGAN DENIES IT.
LINCOLN, Neb., April lS.-In relation
to the letter which appeared in the Lon.
don Times of Saturday, purporting to
have been addressed by Parnell to Pat
rick Egan in 1882, and apologizing for
having denounced the Phoenix Park
murderers, Mr.. Egan has to-day addressed
the following cable message to Hon.
Henry Labouchere, prominent member
of the Gladstone party in the House of
Commons: "Saunderson's statements in
reference to me are unmitigated, willful
slanders. Parnell never wrote me such
o letter as that appearing in the London
Times. The whole thing is base fabri-
| cation"

Why Girls Don't Marry.

A prominent woman physician of Bos-
ton has freely expressed her conviction
that the great superiority in culture of
so many of the young girls of to-day
over that of the average men who 90
early into business eXerts one very
bad effect, namely, that these young
girls do not want to marry such men.
There is no doubt a great deal of truth
in the statement. In fact, in other de-
partments il has always been noticed
that one of the standing i'll effects of
the culture, say of flowers, has been to
make its votary prefer tea rose to a
head of cabbage; or of music, to prefer
harmonious orchestra to discordant
street band; or of religion, to prefer
piety to profanity. Now there is no
reason why the rule should not work
equally in the case of marriage. The
maxim that "any husband is better
than no husband" had once great
deal of truth in it, for the condition of
the unmarried woman was in by-gone
days forlorn one. She could no more
help growing sour than milk in thun-
der-storm. Any and every woman
with the most insignificant sprig of a
husband could turn up her nose at her
and embody weight of public opinion
in her contemptuous attitude that few
single unfortunates could have the
dignity and self-respect to stand up
against. To-day, however, the scales
tip the other way with vengeance. -

he makes it from the miller, and the
miller gets the grain out of which he
makes the flour from the farmer, and
the farmer gets the grain-where does
the farmer get the grain, my little
grip" Why, out of the ground" said
Nellie. "Don't you remember Uncle
George was cutting wheat and oats
when we were at the FARM" "Well 9,
now, suppose that Uncle George put
grain in the ground, and God sent no
sunshine, and no dew, and no rain,
would Uncle George have any har-
vest?" -" Why, no," said little Nellie,
looking sober. "Then, you see, il is
God after all, who gives us each day
our daily bread; and when we have
fruitful seasons and plenty to eat we
ought to be very thankful to our kind
Father in heaven, who never forgets
